I think I've found the solution to Yetis.

Fear.
Yeti are easy as hell if you know how to charm. They'll just stand there and let you kill them.

Don't find it that effective in arenas when they attack in swarms. (Because cheese dicking the campaign isn't hard.) Charm's aim is "eh" when you're swarmed. And once a Yetis hot for your blood, it takes a lot to distract them.

Spam thunderbolt?  Does that one-hit them?

Oh, did anyone else notice that Fafnir calls him Future Vlad when he comes to save the day?  I laughed so damn hard at that.  It's my kind of joke.

Also the Signal, and when Vlad jumps overboard while you're flying hundreds of miles per hour.  Really, everything Vlad does is hilarious.  He even manages to make the cheesy "I'm not a vampire, really guys" thing work.

Again with TB, it's all fine and dandy when it's one guy. When you've got two yetis, 5 spiders, 3 orcs, 2 warlocks.....targeting becomes an issue. So I prefer a non-FF AoE solution that just gets everyone to fuck off.

Thunderbolt doesn't one-hit ANY type of troll.  Really, the best way to deal with yeti is to set yourself on fire.  Dan McNinja shows us how it's done.  Seriously, alternate casting a 5x life (for the longer healing over time effect) and 1 or 2x fire every few seconds.  The game is even nice enough where you never have to face fire attacks when facing yeti, so don't worry about being suddenly flash-fried.

It'd be funny if a Yeti ate you while you were shielded, you exploded in its mouth or stomach.

Thunderbolt doesn't one-hit ANY type of troll.
It does when they're wet.
QFQFQFAS makes short work of them too.
ESQRRA is pretty nice kickass to imbue in your sword too.

Never would have thought of that combo. But, sure, looks like it'll be fun!
